Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.
ChaiScript
- Using C++ as a scripting language, part 6
-
How to use C++ as the core language for a Fantasy Console?
If you want to use C++ for scripting, take a look at Jason Turner's ChaiScript
-
Enabling C/C++ compilation in an application.
3) Similiar to 2, but use more common scripting languages: chai, cs-script, sol2 (c++ framework to embed lua)
-
ArkScript, a language designed to be used in C++ projects, now has macros
A few years back I actually went and made a ChaiScript based video game engine (https://16bpp.net/blog/post/masala-a-chaiscript-game-engine/). The end goal for it was to be able to make a Pacman like clone, but have all of the game logic implemented in ChaiScript. I actually found out as I added more realtime elements (implemented in ChaiScript) that it started to take much longer to process the game logic; the "game loop FPS" was under 60, which is not good. I actually proposition that ChaiScript move to a bytecode VM (https://github.com/ChaiScript/ChaiScript/issues/266), but I'm guessing that no movement was made on that front.
- Is it advisable to embed python in c++ ? Have anyone tried it, what is the best way to do it?
-
Looking for a codegen library that uses C++ for scripting
Maybe ChaiScript? It is not exactly what you are looking for, but very similar, in my opinion.

Hot Reload System
https://celix.apache.org/ - is a native implementation of the OSGi framework that solves a lot of the dependency lifecycle issues involved in dynamic architecture.

Ichor v0.1.0: dependency injection now with co_await
Ichor is more comparable to something like CppMicroservices, Celix or Java Spring. Obviously Java has a heads up here with its annotations, which C++ does not have. All of these frameworks share the same "overengineering" feeling that make it less appealing to smaller projects.

Enabling C/C++ compilation in an application.
1) use dlopen/LoadLibrary and create your own API to get starting/stopping points in dynamic libraries. See celix which uses this option.
